I actually got the phone unucked by using this method. After a few hours of my phone being off I turned it back on, then there was the screen asking for the unlock (00000000) code. Realize that this is when the phone was permanently locked and every restart brought me to a "return for servicing" page. So just for shits and giggles and to get rid of the T-mobile branding, I think I'll get a cable and then flash it myself. But everything is working great now so I probably don't need to do that. Thanks!
